WHAT DOES VARGUENO MEAN IN ENGLISH?

vargueno

Bargueño desk

The Bargueño is a desk first produced in the 15th century that continues to be produced to this day. The only other style of desk which is known to have been continuously produced for so long is the trestle desk, but some authorities exclude this desk from consideration because in early times it also served as a dining table and money lender's counter. A bargueño desk is a form of portable desk, resembling the top half of a fall front desk. It is basically a chest or box with one of the side panels, rather than the top panel, serving as a "lid." The side panel folds down to become a horizontal surface for writing and working. The interior of the desk is equipped with small drawers, pigeonholes, etc., for storing papers and supplies. The bargueño has also been used for sewing or as a jewel chest, rather than just for reading or business activities. The Bargueño desk originated in Renaissance Spain. The desk was typically made of wood, with sturdy iron handles located on each side, to make transporting it relatively easy.
